A midwife in the late 1700s gets called to several births and to identify/investigate a dead man pulled from a river. Mostly based on true events.

I really enjoyed this book! It occasionally got a bit slow, and I felt like some of the characters didn’t have a lot of depth, but overall it was very well written and a great story. I love that Martha is a real person, and that this book really helps her name have some recognition. If you love historical fiction inspired by true events/people, this is a great read!
